Expert Water Heater Installation for Twin Cities Homeowners
Water Heater Equipment
Northern Benjamin Franklin installs and services every common type: storage tank and tankless, gas and electric, plus high-efficiency units.
Which one suits your house comes down to how much hot water you use at once, what fuel you already have, and how much room the utility space can give up. We size against your real peak demand rather than a brochure number, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

Pick Your Type
Each option below supports different needs.
Conventional Water Heaters
Tried and true, conventional water heaters store a set amount of hot water in an insulated tank, ready whenever you need it. They’re simple, reliable, and cost-effective for many Twin Cities households. Our team repairs, maintains, and installs tank units to keep your hot water steady year-round.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you turn on the tap, giving you endless hot water without paying to keep a big tank warm all day. They’re energy-efficient, compact, and perfect for homeowners looking to cut utility bills and free up space.
Hybrid/Electric Water Heaters
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from the air to the water, rather than generating heat directly. This makes them an energy-saving option for Twin Cities homeowners who want to reduce their environmental footprint.

Signs You Need This Service
Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.
The current unit is near the end
Ten to fifteen years for a tank, and replacing on your timing costs less.
Hot water runs out
Either the unit is undersized or sediment has taken its capacity.
You want lower running costs
Which is the question that leads most people to compare tank against tankless.
The utility room is tight
A wall-mounted tankless unit gives the floor back.
Rusty water or a damp base
Corrosion or a weeping tank. This is a replacement conversation.
The household grew
What suited two people rarely suits four.
